There are these trees which are flowering now. They look like hawthorn
trees but their flowers are red (not pinkish white like my hawthorn).
Their leaves are like hawthorn. Flowering as hawthorn time-wise so
far.

So are these hawthorn ?

Thanks in advance

Probably. Wild hawthorns have white, or sometimes pinkish-white,
flowers, but there are cultivars with pink or red flowers. There are
double forms of the pink and the red; I haven't seen a double white but
I wouldn't be surprised to find that they also exist.
